The SsangYong Actyon /ækˈtiːən/ (Korean: 쌍용 액티언) is a compact SUV built by the South Korean automobile manufacturer SsangYong Motor from 2005 to 2011 for the first generation, and 2012 to 2018 for the second. It was available either as an SUV (Actyon) or as a pick-up truck (Actyon Sports). They replaced the SsangYong Musso and Musso Sports.[5] The name is an amalgam of the words "action" and "young".[6] In 2024, SsangYong under the new name KG Mobility reused the Actyon nameplate for the KGM Actyon, an SUV based on the KGM Torres.
A new SUV and a replacement for its popular Musso Sport will double SsangYong sales [...] It will also be joined by a Actyon four-door utility known as the Sport, replacing the well-received but ageing Musso Sport, which dates back to the Musso wagon of 1993 (1996 in Australia).
